Working in Armagh

As well as Armagh itself (BT61), we survey in Portadown, Dungannon and Craigavon.

Armagh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. A renovation survey in Armagh looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. In Armagh flats, the lease and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent.

Most of County Armagh is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting

Decisions to make first

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control covers drainage, structural changes and ventilation, with ventilation set out in Technical Booklet K. There is no Part P, but new wiring should be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671.

Is the water hard in Armagh?

Does a bathroom renovation in Armagh need building control approval?

Building control in Armagh is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Allow 8–15 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Armagh.

Can I live in the house during a bathroom renovation?

Yes, most people do. Expect dust, noise and the water to be off for short spells, and plan for no bath or shower in that room for two to three weeks. If it is your only toilet, talk to us at the survey about keeping a WC working for as much of the job as possible.
